“The arts play an important role in the quality of life in Conway. We were excited to see the work the Creative Institute is doing and are happy to be included with one of [its] featured murals,”
– Crystal Kemp | Chief Marketing Officer, Conway Corp
Thanks to our sponsors, funders, and partners’ investment in the creative economy, we’ve provided 3,400+ hours of education and training to artists and creative professionals and supported 100+ local artists and musicians in exhibiting, selling, performing, or demonstrating their work.
CAREERS ARE BEING BUILT
Every year, 23,900 new design jobs open.
A Place To Belong
By 2025, 36.2 million jobs will be remote, meaning people are free to live in more places. Why would they choose Arkansas?
EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL
It’s no secret that the creative workforce has a diversity problem. We’re dedicated to finding solutions to those issues through talent development and advocacy in our industry.
The goal of the Creative Institute is to prepare creative talent for the workforce, while cultivating culture and arts in Arkansas.
Lift the Next Generation
Design related jobs are projected to increase by 40,000 over the next 10 years in the U.S. alone. We’ve got to prepare the creative workforce to enter these jobs.
